Yes and no.
It's important to recognize that men dot typically feel threatened by women. So we aren't closely reading their body language to see if they are potentially dangerous.
We actually read other MEN more often to see if they are aggressive.
When girls feel a guy is 'creepy' it means they feel uncomfortable around him. So it tends to be a combination of things. One is they pick up sexual interest and don't find him sexually desireable. But that's generally combined with something that makes them feel not relaxed. It could be that he's being sexual in a very inappropriate way which would make them feel concerned that he won't follow OTHER social conventions. But with shy guys it's normally that they pick up his anxiety or tension and that he's hiding the nature of his interest.
Humans are actually quite attuned to picking up tension. We hear it in voices an we read it in body language. And it makes us feel anxious too. This is the instinct telling us that a stranger might be planning something. We don't know what but we better be ready.
It's easier for most guys to imagine how it is for women by imagining gay men hitting on you. A guy is relaxed and friendly and hits on you and you tell him you're not interested and he shrugs and laughs you can't blame him for trying and forgets about it probably isn't creepy. Now imagine a guy who is bigger than you who just keeps flirting awkwardly then looking intense and slightly upset and is physically agitated. How do you feel now?

It doesn't stop at thinking everything is creepy, they're afraid of the dark and won't go for walks alone around their own neighborhood early in the morning because someone might rape them or kidnap them, if they hear a loud noise at night the panic and ask us to check it out, they always want someone to go with them everywhere, they're afraid to face all sorts of bugs that are smaller than their finger nail, scary movies keep them from sleeping at night, when they see a show or a movie with a twisted idea it emotionally troubles them and they need to talk to you about how sick and demented it was for 2 hours. Girls pretty much live in fear every second of their life... Give them a break, they have no balls.
They came off as creeps. Simple as that. They said something weird or did something weird. Maybe tried to get with a girl and just couldn't take "no" for an answer. Came on too strong, gave weird compliments, etc. And I'm sorry to say, but most of the men doing these things are usually ugly. Good looking guys have no problem moving on and are a little more laid back. Just my observation.
Lol Anytime I have to explain to a guy that I am not in a relationship with to stop doing something that makes me uncomfortable. For example this guy that I worked with liked to tickle the girls at the job. I found that creepy because I didn't know him and it's just weird to go around doing that, especially in a workplace. Lol creepy does not mean ugly.
When a girl gets uncomfortable from a guys presence or actions she will call him creepy. It can be another word for ugly but i usually use it when i don't feel necessarily "safe" around said person.

Hot guys can be creepy too, it's just that they get more leeway.
Guys are the same way too. If a hot girl was stalking you and breathing outside your window every night, chances are you'd probably let her in.What makes a guy "creepy" is that the girl isn't attracted to him. Guys she finds attractive can do the same stuff a "creepy" guy does and get away with it.
Basically anything a guy does that remotely expresses attraction, fancying, pursing or simply looking at or liking a girl when the girl does not consider him good looking and part of the social elite
No. Creepy means creepy. That he/she gives someone the creeps.
Lol I guess because they're intimidated by guys so if he does something wrong it's creepy. Guys usually aren't intimidated by girls so we usually don't find them creepy lol.
When ugly/asshole guys try to pick up a girl, than she'll find them creepy.
Easy. If a girl finds you unattractive/ugly she will tell you that you are a creep. Otherwise, if she finds you hot or whatever, it wil" be a matter of days until she comes to you or sits next to you and you two start talking...
Yes, yes it is. You know only ugly people are rapists and pedophiles.
Lol creepy guys are the ones that stare and never say anything
It's only creepy, if they are not attracted to the guy xD
For me, creepy guys always have a strong current of anger or resentment underneath their actions.
Summarized: "Unwanted Attention".
They are past due on their coodie shot.
Same as us. Ugly chicks who act sly to hit on you.
Because girls get creeped out easy!
